Epaulet x Styleforum Alpine Loden Collection
Loden wool, woven in Tirol for centuries, is known for its resistance to cold and wetness. Our project in collaboration with Epaulet introduces Alpine Loden, a modern 18oz fabric blend of 75% merino wool and 25% nylon, woven in Italy. It's lighter, more durable, wind-resistant, and more comfortable than traditional Loden fabric. Partnering with Rochester Tailored Clothing, we offer custom garments like sportcoats, suits, and overcoats, made to your specifications. Learn more about the Loden collection here.

In the white/ivory tone, the same slub pattern shows, but in this tone:

N746024 it isn't as pronounced at all. N746026 also doesn't have it - that is a nice mid toned violet with a hint of grey, which would be a topic for a different questionable taste thread.
This book has some herringbones:![]()
